Retail Associate Job at Ragged Mountain Equipment in Intervale
Ragged Mountain Equipment, Intervale, NH, US, 03845
Job Description
Do you thrive in the outdoors, love great gear, and enjoy helping others gear up for their next adventure? Are you ready to be part of something real, rugged, and growing right here in the heart of the White Mountains?
Ragged Mountain Equipment is truly a local legend (but don't take our word for it). For over 40 years, we’ve been handcrafting and curating top-quality outdoor clothing and gear for people who live to be outside. Our Intervale, NH shop is where trail talk happens, where used gear gets a second life, and where the community comes for expert advice and friendly faces. We’re known far and wide for a reason, and we’re growing into something even better.
Now’s your chance to join our crew.
Position: Ragged Outfitter - Retail Professional
Location: Intervale, NH
Type: Full-Time or Part-Time
Wage: $17 - $22/hour
What You'll Do:
- Provide warm, knowledgeable, and down-to-earth service to every customer. Whether they’re tackling their first peak, replacing a 20-year-old fleece, or buying a onesie for their toddler, they want the expert advice you have to offer.
- Share your love for the outdoors and our products with customers, helping them find the perfect fit, function, and feel.
- Learn the ins and outs of our handmade gear, exclusive designs, and top-notch outdoor equipment. Climbing harnesses? Check! Ski skins? Yep. That "just-right" hoody? You bet.
- Keep the shop looking its best: restocked, clean, and ready to inspire.
- Support sales, returns, exchanges, custom orders, fulfilling website sales, and special projects.
- Assist with product merchandising, receiving, or even chiming in on discussions about designing our next Ragged Mountain jacket.
What Makes You a Great Fit:
- You’ve got a passion for the outdoors, you dream about hiking, skiing, climbing, or trail running. We don’t care what your sport is, as long as you’re fired up to share it.
- Previous retail or customer service experience is a big plus, but attitude matters more than a résumé.
- You’re approachable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy helping people.
- You’re detail-oriented, adaptable, and eager to learn about technical gear and apparel.
- You bring energy, reliability, and a sense of humor, even on the busy days.
- Bonus points if you’ve worked in outdoor retail, know the difference between a carabiner and a cam, or just want to be surrounded by the best gear and best people in the business.
Why Ragged is Different (and Better):
- Local First. We’re proudly independent and New Hampshire born-and-bred.
- Built Here. We manufacture all of our Ragged Mountain clothing just upstairs from our store, so you’ll actually know the story behind what we sell.
- Adventure-Driven. Our team lives what we sell. When we say “tested in the White Mountains,” we mean it.
- Growing Fast. We’re building something exciting. Join us now and grow with us, have fun, and make this the best job you've had!
- Culture That Cares. We take care of our people like we take care of our customers: with respect, trust, and plenty of stories.
Perks:
- Employee discounts on gear and clothing (you’ll be well-outfitted!)
- Scheduling flexibility for outdoor-loving lifestyles
- Opportunities to grow into almost anything within the company. If we don't do it now, we'll probably have to soon.
- A fun, friendly, and passionate team that feels like your weekend hiking crew.
If this sounds like your kind of mountain town job, hit the apply button and tell us who you are, what you love, and why you’d be a great fit. Resumes are welcome, but passion goes a long way.
